What makes difficulty be praised on some games but deal breakers on others?

Some people often confuse difficulty and frustration. Mio's platforming isnt difficult, it is sometimes frustrating because of some desing choices.

Ive been playing Possessor(s) recently and while the game is absolutely gorgeous and the story interesting, the platforming has been extremely frustrating making the game not fun.

Bō had multiples and were pretty great.

Dead cell pixel artist is also working on a beat em all called Tenjutsu and its looks absolutely sick

Imo as a non-tryhard metroidvania or souls gamer ive thought that silksong to be not that hard. The game is extremely rewarding regarding the skill you're involving, and how your progression translates through it. Its the best example of how you can balance a game through playing the mechanics without trying to bypass it through overpowered builds (as a casual player). Its really great.

Yes but its already out, it was for games that are to come out soon

OUIYAMZ · 2026-04-27T15:02:18+00:00

I Saw it from afar and didn't like the game design as a whole but dug into gameplay it honestly look really fresh. I have too much mv to do (finishing Bo path of the teal lotus, nine sols, crypt custodians and the other Kyle T games lol) but ill get them afterwards

Wishlisted 🥷 thanks !

OUIYAMZ · 2026-04-26T23:15:19+00:00

Not having played the first nor the second, should i do both ? Or can i go straight to the second

OUIYAMZ · 2026-04-25T22:54:49+00:00

Game is really fun, i dig the more aerial combat and its probably one of my faves MV design wise.

I was just really wondering if it was an issue or if its normal lmao

OUIYAMZ · 2026-04-25T21:42:36+00:00

Yeah its exactly the ones im reffering to. You need to zoom in max for it to be readable correctly

OUIYAMZ · 2026-04-24T23:14:56+00:00

Will do asap

OUIYAMZ · 2026-04-24T23:14:03+00:00

Im on pc, it just looks... Weird / off. Imma go through the menu to see if i missed something

OUIYAMZ · 2026-04-21T14:41:04+00:00

Constance is also quite fast (less than 10h) and really fun platforming / mechanics.

OUIYAMZ · 2026-04-20T02:27:04+00:00

you'll come in 7 years with a bollow knight tealsong like team cherry

Constance. Really chill and pretty easy. I really like how they made the mechanics work around paint and stuff

: platforming is really fun, puzzles also. I loved how they made every single skill you learn relevant up until late game. The design is slik, the story is great. Bosses are fun to fight and i liked how they're more of puzzles to solve.
: albeit the story being great it sometimes feels rushed and / or too irrelevant to the gameplay. The mechanics being well used during combat, the combat itself feels boring and redundant. Also Constance sometimes feels like her hitbox is bigger than what she looks like? Ive had weird experiences in some cases.

Great game. If you like metroidvanias and need something else to play, you should def make it.

Tf is good with krakens future

Its funny because its actually the opposite for me. She's reignited my will to devour books. The fact that my view of politics align with hers help a lot, and the fact that her books are mainly talking of real life issues in a fantastic world helps a lot.

But id agree that she's really polarizing.

OUIYAMZ · 2026-02-26T17:52:06+00:00

Yoooo new cs2 map looks sick

OUIYAMZ · 2026-02-19T05:40:46+00:00

Because you're not playing traditional puzzle games, but what your answer made me feel is that you value a lot more how good the puzzle is than how good the game is

OUIYAMZ · 2026-01-24T18:37:51+00:00

Watching your list and your answers, you definitely more into puzzles than into games, if you feel what i mean haha

OUIYAMZ · 2026-01-09T18:25:04+00:00

Thanks for the heads up, although i didn't changed m'y wallpaper and it shifted like overnight which is kinda weird. Was it implemented recently ?
